I think you'll find that confiscation is mandatory.

The most recent information I have is that it's now completely illegal to
even possess a radar detector in any state other than WA, which is why
Creative Electronics, who used to be at Matraville, and made the Whistler
series of detectors, are now trading from Perth.
